LH does a pretty good job overall of managing lounges.
The issue is that the Senator lounges were never designed as they are being used today- originally they were for Senator passengers only not *G- if you look on any given day 90% of the passengers are not Senator. My understanding is that this will be rectified to a degree with the new pier A plus which is supposed to have 5 lounges (3 business+2 Sen IIRC)- opening 2012. Until A plus I believe we are stuck. Of course they could always just re-designate the business lounges as * g and the SEN lounges only for FC/SEN- that would solve a lot of the problem
